144. Tantrum


At what age does one stop throwing tantrums? I have never responded to my daughters pitching a fit in any way that has given them a reason to think tantrums are effective. At the age of two years it would be difficult for a child to stop and rethink her strategy.  But certainly by the age of eight a child would have to know that tantrums just don't yield much in terms of results. She certainly wouldn't throw one if her friends were around - so at least social pressure from peers is key to the tantrums instinction.
